SPT.L Signals & Forecast
Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Spirent Communications Plc stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at £182.97 and £185.27. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, and so far it has fallen -2.27%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Trading Expectations (SPT.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 3rd
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 3rd we expect Spirent Communications Plc to open at £182.70, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £177.78 and £183.82, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£3.02 (+/-1.67%) up or down from last closing price. If Spirent Communications Plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.34% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
With no support below and resistance from accumulated volume @ £184.10, some £3.30 (1.83%) from the current price of £180.80, our system finds the risk reward not very attractive.
Is Spirent Communications Plc stock A Buy?
